This will just encourage companies to off-shore more.

It's already 70%-80% cheaper to hire offshore. How much more juice is left to squeeze?

Then it's time to start seizing these companies assets. American corporations exist to benefit the US and US people.

the tax code was recently adjusted. All foreign R&D needs to be depreciated over 15 years, you can depreciate immediately for US based R&D.
